Snowed In (Again)

by Corinne Park-Buffelen & composer David Taylor Gomes

Plays

November 21 - December 22 

ArtsWest Audience Favorite!
Last year, a new holiday tradition was born as ArtsWest sent four of Seattle’s hottest musical theater stars on a cozy retreat to write the most perfect holiday show the world had ever seen.  But when a blizzard hit, tensions rose and the crumpled-up notebook pages began to pile up even faster than the snow. This year, four more stars scramble to remount last year’s holiday hit.  With hindsight on their side, the process should be foolproof.  What could possibly go wrong?  Inspired by classic holiday TV specials and musicals about putting on a musical, witness this new Seattle theater tradition as four of the city’s most beloved musical theater stars take you on a journey of song, dance, friendship, family, and the true meaning of the holidays.

Covenant

by York Walker 

Plays

February 6 - March 2 

NY Times Critic's Pick!
When a struggling guitarist returns to his small Georgia town a blues star, rumors begin swirling that he may have made a deal with the devil to attain his musical genius. Before long, however, it becomes clear he's not the only one with a secret. A mythic and suspenseful new play that delivers one devilish twist after another, York Walker's COVENANT explores the power of belief and the thin line between rumor and truth.  “A striking new work. An electric cast. Covenant is an auspicious New York debut for a playwright who clearly has a gift." - The New York Times  “Blackout-and-blood-curdling-scream deliciousness.” - New York Magazine  “Undeniably spooky. Absolutely enjoyable. You'll be frightened in the best way possible.” - Theatermania

The Effect

by Lucy Prebble 

Plays

June 19 - July 13 

NY Times Critic's Pick!
In this thrilling play by Lucy Prebble (HBO’s Succession), two young volunteers, Tristan and Connie, agree to take part in a clinical drug trial. Succumbing to the gravitational pull of attraction and love, however, Tristan and Connie manage to throw the trial off-course, much to the frustration of the clinicians involved. This funny, moving and perhaps surprisingly human play explores questions of sanity, neurology and the limits of medicine, alongside ideas of fate, loyalty and the inevitability of physical attraction.  “Cosmic and atomically intimate.” —The New York Times   “Genuinely engaging and smart.” —The Observer  “A brain-tingling meditation on what makes us tick.” —Time Out New York
